2 years 45 mil.

Where's their pitching? Their lineup will be the best in the division but they lost some key guys too. I think itll be between AZ and LA for the West this year, like it was last year.

How long will it take until Manny becomes unhappy? I don't see him having the year he had last year. He is getting up there in years and is not playing for a contract.

Deferred money over 5 years and the 2nd year of the contract is a player option. I hope that Manny implodes and makes that pliable Dodgers' team worthless

No surprise, he was going to end up in LA, nobody else wanted him. I think they actually do have the pitching to challenge us. Hopefully our lineup develops a solid run producer in order to get our offense going, we started out well last year but had to trade for Dunn to provide a boost for our offense. On the bright side if we do need a boost of power in the middle of our lineup we could always acquire another slugger at the deadline and this time offer him arbitration in oder to receive compenstion when he bolts.

Manny was playing for a contract last season, and now he didnt get the money that he thinks he deserves... he'll jog his way through this season to show his displeasure, just collecting a paycheck.

I hope

He's actually going to be playing for a contract again this year too. The second year is a player option, so if he has a good year and the "market" improves, he'll opt out and go through the whole process again.

He won't jog through the season.

Yup... I didnt know he had a player option for the 2nd year. I guess he wont be jogging.
